same diff.

Good things come to those who wait.

Death by old age, for instance.

[punkinhead]

Better to wait for a perfect track listing than to have it reissued three times to fix mistakes like with the Endless Harmony soundtrack.

I thought it was just twice released with two different covers

There's a promo version with a slightly different ten second bit of talking...one of the radio promos or something.

I believe the second version (with the white cover) has an all acapella Surfer Girl instead of the binaural version, and a different radio promo spot. I have the original release (orange) and never heard the acapella Surfer Girl.


EDIT: Or whatever, check this out:

BTW if anyone happens to have the acapella Surfer Girl version, I'd love to take a listen

[adamghost]

They can delay it all they want if it's to compile a better tracklist. Good things come to those who wait.

It could go either way. A positive spin is that they are adding more rarities, better sources, or new mixes.
On the downside, Mike Love could be demanding that "Slow Summer Dancin'" be included in place of Wouldn't It Be Nice To Love Again.

Nah if I could choose I'd like to go out like John Entwhistle did.

I'm hoping we hear Surf's Up '98 on the box. Though it probably wouldn't fit within the context of a Beach Boys' box set. Maybe on a future BW-solo anthology type of thing.

What is Surf's Up '98?  I've not heard of that.

Now keep in mind I am not kidding. But Brian actually recorded a version with Carnie or Wendy (can't remember), with Joe Thomas co-producing in 1998. I would be interested to hear it. But I'm surely not expecting it to replace the 1971 version or the 1967 solo take as my favorites.

When the artwork changed, "California Girls" & "Kiss Me Baby" changed from the superb Andrew Sandoval stereo remixes, to the narrower, shriller Mark Linett stereo remixes, apparently at The Beach Boys' request.

Oh I heard about that!!! I'd love to hear it, Imagine if... it's more then we think?

Yeah, you never know. One thing's for sure, the vocal arrangements BW / JT were doing in '98 were top notch.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

agreed, YI has some of BW's best vocal arrangements

[JohnMill]

I hope southbay doesn't mind, but I thought this would be an interesting post from the Grammy thread to post in here as it quite relevant:

Had the chance to meet Mark London who was very nice and gave some great insight into the box set (it IS coming out, never fear). Mark is in charge of the entire Booklet, approx 80 pages.  Will be filled with NUMEROUS unreleased and unseen photos. Said he was given access to a box of photos that had been stored in Brian's garage for years. ASked him iof the boys themselves had any input in the tracklist--"oh absolutely!" As for a release date, he still says November is possibile, but may indeed be pushed back because they "just f*cked with the tracklist" . There will be a lot of unrealeased material, but he didn't go into specifics.

Sounds promising.  They'd be foolhardy in my opinion not to release it in time for the Christmas market.  Box sets from what I understand aren't the easiest sell in this digital marketplace and while they will always make coin off the diehards, I'm sure that Capitol would just love to have to impulse holiday baby boomer bucks in their coffers.  But then again, their plan is their plan.

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Look people, Phil Cohen is not paranoid or mad or any of those things, he is quite clearly just deliberately saying things to get a rise out of people and cause a reaction. Pathetic? Yes. Paranoid and/or mad? No. So please stop rising to it and let's just all from this moment on just COMPLETELY IGNORE HIS POSTS!

Please, do not reply to him or remark on him from this moment on, otherwise he'll never go away. Stop playing his game. It's a blatant wind up.

You were not here during the Smile sessions drama

No, but i've read it. It's a wind up folks.

[hypehat]

More rampant Surf's Up speculation here: Does the copycat backing track they cut in '71 for the album still survive? And is it just the first half? That would be cool, I'd love to hear that.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I doubt it would be released, however it probably exists, and was probably considered for the Smile sessions

[The Heartical Don]

Do we actually know for a fact that the box set has been delayed or are we just going by that website that gave it a January 2013 release date?

There's a good chance, IMHO, that it'll be January. Just found this on the web site of my eminently trustworthy and serious retailer (fact: he never gets it wrong in these matters, if there's any doubt he puts in '2099' as the year of release; and he never just copies info from other, e.g. Czech, sites, he gets it from the distributor).

OH. MY. GOD. Delayed a whole two months. I'm SO HUMILIATED.

[Mike's Beard]

Phil's gonna have a field day with this......

[BergenWhitesMoustache]

'Don't feed the troll' seems woefully inadequate on a site where they are fed, clothed, housed and set up with incredibly easy jobs with great salaries. Just sayin'  

[joshferrell]

well the world IS suppsed to end Dec 21st,so i guess we'll NEVER get to hear the boxset if the date has been change to Jan...oh well..
